The lure of being your own boss, setting your own hours, and making money has a lot of people looking at various opportunities on the market today. Little Black Dress is one of the many companies offering this service. If you would like to sell jewelry, this may be the opportunity for you.
Initially, you can join for $35, which basically pays for your sales training kit. However, when you get ready to start selling a minimum of $500 purchase for your startup jewelry display is recommended. Unlike other businesses of this type, you do not place orders for what your customer’s buy. They buy directly from your startup supply.

Little Black Dress features a fashion jewelry collection that is designed by Robert McCannel, president and designer. He has been designing jewelry for over 20 years. It has been available through department stores, jewelry stores, and boutiques, not to mention QVC in Europe and the Shopping Channel in Canada.
The jewelry that is designed and manufactured for Little Black Dress is only available from this company. Their claim to selling unique items that cannot be purchased elsewhere is what makes clients want to buy from them. Exclusive but affordable is the Little Black Dress’ motto.
Consultants make 50 percent of the sales price on every piece of jewelry they sell. Not only do they make a commission of 50 percent but they can also earn free jewelry or purchase items for half price. Wearing the jewelry is a great way to sell it . People will ask you where you got something you’re wearing and you’ve probably made a sale.
Hosting parties for your jewelry business and building up clientele are the basic ways to generate your income. By recruiting other sales consultants, you may be paid a commission from the company based on a new consultant’s personal sales. The more consultants you recruit, the more money you can make.
According to figures from the Direct Selling Association, 55 percent of people in the United States buy products from direct sales. 25 billion in sales in the U.S. and 82 billion worldwide have been attributed to direct sales. Studies conclude that 45 percent of Americans polled prefer to purchase items using this method.
Many people start out with a business such as Little Black Dress on a part time basis. They want to see if they can actually generate an income and how much they can actually make working for themselves. Some have actually quit their 9 to 5 to do this full time. Setting up a good clientele is the key to making enough money to count on this for a full time income. Hosting parties and word of mouth is another way with good results.
Make sure you check out any work for yourself business before committing. And finally make sure you find a mentor that will work hard to help you reach your goals. While a lot of these companies are excellent income generators, you have to work at it and have the desire to be in this type of business.
